“…Additional interactions of race/culture and deception detection mean that our results may not generalize to non-American cultures or to different samples of American participants. Specifically, studies have demonstrated effects of culture on the trustworthiness of facial features (Sofer et al, 2017) and the use of eye blinks, shrugs, and vocal stress during deception (Burgoon et al, 2021). Furthermore, people more accurately detect deception by members of a different culture than by members of their own culture (Seiter & Wiseman, 1995).…”

Purpose: Differences in social cognition between autistic and nonautistic people may put autistic people at greater risk of being deceived. To inform communication interventions related to deception, the purposes of this mixed-methods study were to examine the deception detection strategies used by young adults with varying levels of autistic traits and to explore whether those strategies differed between groups or in terms of accuracy. Methods: Fifty-one young adults with varying levels of autistic traits watched a series of videos. For each video, the participant judged whether the recorded speaker was truthful and gave the reasoning for their judgment. Inductive thematic analysis was used to identify themes in participants' stated reasons, which were used to quantitatively examine (1) between-group differences based on self-reported autistic traits and (2) theme-based differences in accuracy. Results: Thematic analysis of the open-ended responses yielded four major themes: subjective descriptions of the person, nonverbal communication, observable features of the response, and nebulous reasons. Statistical analyses indicated no significant group differences in frequency of use of the four themes. When the four themes were compared with each other, observable response features yielded significantly more accurate judgments than nonverbal communication or subjective descriptions. Discussion: Findings are discussed within the framework of speech–language pathologists' role in helping communicators determine a speaker's truthfulness, with the ultimate goal of avoiding deception and/or manipulation. Suggestions for incorporating research findings into the design of communication interventions are included.

“…Research has also highlighted the impact of cultural factors; Bond et al (1990) discovered that Jordanians exhibited more speech pauses when lying than when telling the truth, whereas Americans did not exhibit this difference. Further, Burgoon et al (2021) found that the behaviors of interviewees engaged in deceptive communication, such as eye blinks, hand shrugs, and vocal pitch, varied depending on their cultural orientations. Gender differences, though limited in findings, are still noteworthy.…”

Nonverbal behaviors could play a crucial role in detecting deception, yet existing studies on deception cues have largely centered on Western populations, predominantly university students, thus neglecting the influence of cultural and sample diversity. To address this gap, our study explored deception cues within an Asian cultural setting, utilizing a mock crime paradigm. Our sample comprised Chinese participants, including both men and women with various socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. Our findings revealed that compared to truth tellers, liars exhibited heightened emotions and an increased cognitive load. Furthermore, liars showed a higher frequency of self-adaptors and a longer duration of gaze aversion. Our findings contribute to a more profound understanding of deception cues within Asian culture and have implications for practical fields such as criminal interrogation.

“…The culture affects a deceiver’s motivations, cognitive difficulty, arousal, and behavioral control. In addition, it also shapes the behavioral patterns relevant to deception ( Burgoon et al, 2021 ). Therefore, cross-cultural deception has also received considerable attention in the deception community ( Papantoniou et al, 2021 ).…”

Although it is important to accurately detect deception, limited research in this area has been undertaken involving Asian people. We aim to address this gap by undertaking research regarding the identification of deception in Asians in realistic environments. In this study, we develop a Chinese Werewolf Deception Database (C2W2D), which consists of 168 video clips (84 deception videos and 84 honest videos). A total of 1,738,760 frames of facial data are recorded. Fifty-eight healthy undergraduates (24 men and 34 women) and 26 drug addicts (26 men) participated in a werewolf game. The development of C2W2D is accomplished based on a “werewolf” deception game paradigm in which the participants spontaneously tell the truth or a lie. Two synced high-speed cameras are used to capture the game process. To explore the differences between lying and truth-telling in the database, descriptive statistics (e.g., duration and quantity) and hypothesis tests are conducted using action units (AUs) of facial expressions (e.g., t-test). The C2W2D contributes to a relatively sizable number of deceptive and honest samples with high ecological validity. These samples can be used to study the individual differences and the underlying mechanisms of lies and truth-telling between drug addicts and healthy people.
